can anyone tell me wha morph this is?
thanks,
Don

The photo background makes it hard to judge the pics, but it looks like an aberrant patterned normal. It may be a co-dom snow, but I would not call it that unless it is proven out or you know the animals background.

it is not a normal. That i do know. I will take a pic on a different background as well as one with one of my norms.

The legs in the pic do show a bit of yellow, possibly due to the flash but in real life there is no visible color. Only Black, gray and white.

It is anery in appearance but I do not get into or keep abreast of all the different gecko morphs so I am not sure what it would be called.

thanks, Don

here it is on a different background color. Second pic is one of my normals on the same background color for comparision.

I'm sure others will weigh in, but it looks like a snow to me...

Unless it makes super snows when bred to a known snow or super snow, I would not call it a mack snow. Other than that it doesn't look like any known co-dom or recessive morph avaliable.

It doesn't mean that it's not a morph, it just means that you really can't say that it is unless it is proven out.

where did you get it? if you got it from a pet store it may just turn into a pastelish looking gecko. if you got it from a breeder who was calling it a sertain morph then you will know but thats probably as far as it will go. post pictures when it gets bigger you may have better luck. it is pretty though

correct me if i am wrong but i believe that the last i heard, mack snows were co dominant. This would mean that i would not need a snow or super snow to "prove it out". If I breed it to any other type there is a 25% chance of a snow. (if in fact that is what it is).

This baby is a result of my breeding. I have one other "anery" baby from the same breeding group. The group is comprised of designer morphs. The problem is that I have never purchased nor seen in person a "snow". The only pictures i have seen show a snow as having a washed out yellow color. Now I may have seen poor examples OR poor pictures OR this juvenile may take on some yellow color also. I simply do not know based on my lack of experience with snows and understand that it is tough to really make a call through a picture. Just wanted to get some feedback. I will wait another few months until it has its adult colors. In the meantime I will go ahead and order a snow so I have something for comparision.

thanks for everyones input.

I don't care what morph it is....I WANT IT!!!

That is the most beautiful (IMHO) gecko I have seen!!

Well, unless one of your adults is a Mack snow, then it definatly is not a Mack snow. It would just be a light colored or pastel normal. There is a wide range of natural variation in the amount of yellow that shows up in hatchling leos. This variation is the basis for a lot of designer morphs such as the line bred snows.

Isn't that an aberrant?
